Will Smith was the guest of honor on Sunday at the charity Starlite Gala in Marbella, Spain.

As he wandered through the deserted avenues of Zurich, Switzerland, it felt strangely familiar to Will Smith, evoking memories of his role in the post-apocalyptic movie “I Am Legend”.

In the final episode of the second season of House of the Dragon, which was broadcast on HBO and Max, Daemon Targaryen (played by Matt Smith) is instructed by Alys Rivers (Gayle Rankin) to touch a weirwood tree. This act triggers a vision for him about the future, where he briefly catches glimpses of the White Walkers, antagonists that will have a significant impact in the series Game of Thrones, which is set approximately 100 years later and features Daemon as a deceased character. Additionally, he sees an image of Brynden Rivers, also known as Bloodraven or the Three-Eyed Crow, a key figure in George R.R. Martin’s fantasy lore.

Where, oh where, is Otto Hightower? That question has loomed over House of the Dragon’s second season, and it remains an enduring mystery. The second episode of the season, “Rhaenyra the Cruel,” saw King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) fire his shrewd grandfather Otto (Rhys Ifans) from his position as Hand of the King. In response, Otto declared he was going to leave King’s Landing rather than sit around where he wasn’t wanted.

We’ve recently completed season 2 of “House of the Dragon,” and fans, predictably, have expressed passionate views! Due to issues like uneven pacing and some controversial adaptations from the source material, this season has received more negative feedback compared to the first. I can certainly understand the criticism. The finale is packed with numerous storylines that aim to provide a conclusive and enjoyable ending, but it also includes scenes exclusive to the show and alterations in the sequence of events.

We’ve reached the end of House of the Dragon season 2, where the final episode unveiled fresh locations and characters, aiming to resolve the storylines for our primary figures. However, the rhythm of the finale is debatable as it delves a tad too deeply into Triarchy affairs while significant events unfold in Dragonstone and King’s Landing, reinforcing the idea that this season struggles due to its limited eight episodes. Nevertheless, the Triarchy scenes are engaging; there’s no denying that. They will undoubtedly play a role when season 3 begins.

We’ve concluded the second season of ‘House of the Dragon’, and I find myself compelled to express some thoughts. Despite the impressive production quality and aesthetic appeal of the final episode titled “The Queen Who Never Was”, there are a couple of significant issues that I can’t help but address, one related to structure and the other to theme.

Tonight marks the finale of “House of the Dragon” season 2, and HBO isn’t letting the captivated audience pass without a show. In addition to shows premiering this year, they also previewed upcoming series set for release next year. Notably, we got our first glimpse of “The Last of Us” season 2, starring Pedro Pascal reprising his role as Joel and Bella Ramsey returning as Ellie, two resilient figures navigating the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. Predictably, they saved this exciting sneak peek for last.

As a dedicated fan of the epic fantasy genre, I eagerly anticipate tonight’s finale of “House of the Dragon,” the second season of HBO’s captivating prequel series to “Game of Thrones.” Throughout my years of immersing myself in this rich and complex world, I have grown accustomed to the exhilarating highs and crushing lows that come with following the lives of these characters. The anticipation is palpable as armies prepare for war, leaving me on the edge of my seat wondering who will emerge victorious.
